ST. LOUIS--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for
mission-critical applications, announces the availability of a new
Hirschmann Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector. The new SPIDER
Giga 2TX PoE EEC is an efficient solution for powering devices, such
as IP cameras, IP telephones or WLAN access points. It makes it possible
to expand networks, using PoE functionality without replacing any
standard switches, so power can be transported directly via the data
cable. As a result, there is no need for sockets/power lines for
separate power supply units or PoE switches. The data port of the PoE
injector, which supports Gigabit Ethernet, can simply be coupled with a
standard switch, and the respective device connected to the PoE port.
Since this port can supply up to 30 watts, even devices with higher
power consumption can be powered.

“The Hirschmann SPIDER PoE
injector enables all-around flexible and cost-effective solutions.
Moreover, support for higher data transfer rates, such as PoE+ and
Gigabit Ethernet, guarantee the usefulness of these devices well into
the future.”

The PoE injector features a stable metal housing, an extended
temperature range, and high shock, vibration and EMC resistance. This
makes it also suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
Possible applications range from mechanical and plant engineering to
renewable energy, as well as transportation and security technology.
Product Manager Sebastian Preiss remarked: “The Hirschmann SPIDER PoE
injector enables all-around flexible and cost-effective solutions.
Moreover, support for higher data transfer rates, such as PoE+ and
Gigabit Ethernet, guarantee the usefulness of these devices well into
the future.”

The SPIDER Giga 2TX PoE EEC is equipped with two RJ45 ports for
10/100/1000 BASE-T, one of which additionally supports PoE+ (max. 30 W
in accordance with IEEE802.3at). The metal housing, measuring just 30 x
140 x 95 mm, can be mounted either on DIN rails or on the wall. The PoE
injector meets the requirements of industrial protection class IP30 and
also includes features such as plug-and-play activation, a temperature
range from -40°C to +70°C, and a redundant power supply (24/48 VDC),
with LEDs to display the status of its own power supply and that of the
PoE port.
